Abstract

Purpose

This cohort study was designed to compare the efficacy and safety of laparoscopic Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (LRYGB) and laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy (LSG) for the management of morbid obesity during the 11-year experience.

Materials and Methods

This study was conducted between July 2006 and August 2019. Annually we recorded data about the weight, body mass index (BMI), percentage of excess weight loss (%EWL), percentage of weight loss (%WL), weight regain, and postoperative complications into a prospectively collected database.

Results

A total of 1146 patients (LRYGB=396 and LSG=750) aged >18 years old were included in the study. Over the first 7 years after surgery, the weight loss rate was significantly higher in the LRYGB-treated group than the LSG-treated group, and weight regain was significantly lower in the LRYGB-treated group in comparison with the LSG-treated group. Our results revealed that statistically, but not clinically, the efficacy of LRYGB and LSG is equivalent in terms of %WL, %EWL, and weight regain within 8 years and more. Besides, there were no significant differences in surgery-related mortality and severe complications between the two procedures.

Conclusion

Our study’s results indicated that the clinical efficacy of LRYGB in the management of obesity is better than LSG during the 11-year experience. But the differences in weight loss and weight regain were not statistically relevant at 8 years and more after the surgery. Also, a comparison of severe complications did not indicate significant differences between the two groups.
